Is this an anti-democracy post? Is OP saying people shouldn't be allowed to vote...?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

No, it's mocking the idea that voters aren't responsible for their own choices, and that the Dems running a dogshit campaign means that voting for fascism or sitting it out and letting fascism take the reins of the country is somehow okay.

The Dems ran a shite campaign. The Dems are absolutely guilty in this shitshow of fascism we find ourselves in. But the people who deny all moral agency to the voters who sat by and said "Yeah, voting against fascism just isn't that exciting" is absurd. They're fucking guilty too.

No he's saying we must vote for one of the two parties, thereby manufacturing consent for whatever they decide to shovel down our throats.

I do not blame people who voted for third parties or write ins. At worst, they make a compelling point to campaigns - that there are many voters that are active, but want another option.

And you're here trying to tell people to either not vote or vote third party and any time someone points out that just was the death of America you have to deflect. You're reliable to do it in every thread. It is gross.

Hahaha no. First of all, politicians have used that bit of PR in every election I've ever seen. So that might be a clue as to why you ran around shouting about it and people were like, "yeah, and?" Secondly, I actually shut up about it before the election.

Oh so you're one of the non voters who helped Trump win?

Oh so you're the guy who makes assumptions that make you feel more comfortable.
